As with most MAC products, the lipsticks are also fab. They have great staying power and are really pigmented. The best thing is the range of colors they have. With my skintone (NW35- but it changes), I sometimes find it hard to find the right shade- but I think MAC caters to girls from the South Asian continent very well.

Tips: Use a brush when applying- makes for a much cleaner finish.
I haven't bought MAC lippy in forever so I decided to treat myself and went & bought Ruby Woo & Girl About Town - I wish I had done this sooner!! The colours are divine and so long lasting! This is the lippy you can pop on and not worry about smearing - even after lunch!! I had forgotten I was wearing it and scoffed back a burger and to my surprise I hadn't smeared it half way across my face - it does not budge!!
Tips: I pop some lip balm on before applying and do a little top up every few hours to keep my lips looking slick and fabulous! Also a lip liner will keep it looking even more fab throughout the day!
This is the best nude lippys ever. I'm a pale girl and it suits me really well my sister is darker skin and suits her aswell so is good for all skin tones My go to nude :)
Tips: Using a good nude or nude/pink lip liner helps
I just recently purchased my first mac lippy! i love it but now i want more! the consistency and stay power is incredible and well worth the price! i go the Ravishing one and its such a nice colour for every day makeup, perfect for work. I just cant wait to get more :)
Tips: Use a lip liner to line your lips then colour in your lips with the liner itl help it stay on even longer
I have the shade 'Ravishing', which is a light coral/orange shade perfect for daily wear. You can apply a lip liner for long lasting or wear it as a sheer colour. I love how you can change the shade ever so slightly by wearing a pink lip liner to make it more pink, a nude liner to make it a shade lighter and a true orange liner to make it more vibrant! The smell of these lipsticks are phenomenal! I would definitely recommend MAC lippies but be careful before buying these as they are quite pricey so make sure you know what shade your getting. I also like how they have such a HUGE shade and finish range that it would be impossible to find your perfect shade/colour!
Tips: Wear a lip liner to make it last longer and change the shade a little
Apply a gloss to make your lips look glossier
Make sure your lips are exfoliated before applying the lipsticks as some may catch on to dry lips and look quite unpleasant
I currently own three MAC lipsticks: Russian Red, Prepare for Pleasure (from the limited edition Divine Night collection) and Rebel.
Russian Red is an absolute classic matte, bold, blue-based red. It has amazing lastability but can be a bit divisive due to how intense the colour is.
Prepare for Pleasure will be hard to get your hands on now but is a bit less intense and thus more wearable than Russian Red. It comes in a creme sheen finish which also makes it easier to apply though without the same longevity.
Rebel is a lovely darker purple in a satin finish. Very wearable and looks good with fairer skin tones.
All three are just brilliant and I would undoubtedly buy more if they were more in line with the US pricing. As they are, they're a treat purchase and not something I buy at a whim or wear often.
Tips: As with any intense coloured, if you want hard edges, use a lip pencil to give a base to the lipstick. The Russian Red goes on a lot easier with a smooth base from lip balm or similar.
So I can say I love some cream in my coffee and now I am in love with this lipstick, goes with everything I can wear this day to night and can go without reapplying from 9am which is perfect for me as I don't get time to reapply makeup between jobs.
Tips: Invest in a good makeup remover as they do stay on well.
I finally took the plunge and purchased my first MAC lipstick. I ordered online and had it shipped from the US. My colour of choice was Riri Woo. I am totally in love! This lippie is beautiful. The colour is amazing, it feels amazing on my lips and it lasts for hours!! I can't wait to expand my collection! So many amazing colours to choose from.
I think MAC have a fantastic range of lipsticks. At the moment I own Russian Red, Sweetie, Rebel, Snob, Hot Tahiti, Odyssey and Chatterbox! They are my absolutely favourite - there is such a wide range to cater for many different looks and skin complexions. They last all night if you wear them of an evening and thus while they are quite pricey, you get a lot of use out of them.
Tips: I always make sure to wear MAC lip liner over my darker shades for greater longevity - make sure to colour in your whole lip rather than just outlining the edges. Also, my Russian Red can get slightly dry (but don't get me wrong I still love it!) so I apply some Lucas PaPaw Ointment underneath to give the lipstick more moisture for easier application.
MAC have a fantastic range of lipsticks, and the colours on offer are fantastic! It goes on really soft and easy, has a great creamy feel. But I do wish that it lasted longer, it just seemed to come off too quickly compared to some other lipsticks that I own, that are from 'cheaper' brands.
